Pros

- The people team (HR) is one of the best in the industry - The pay is pretty high for a startup - Benefits are impressive for a startup - Most teams are run by very knowledgeable, passionate, and experienced engineering managers. - The CEO is appropriately involved, very grounded, kind and professional. He is very transparent, informative and inspiring in his communication to the company.

Cons

If you get an offer to work for the Cloud team RUN. Seriously, get another job. The management on that team is very green and toxic. The high exec manager is very good at not showing any of the higher ups this behavior, therefore it becomes a "the employee's word versus the manager's word" environment. He has been quoted to say "who do you think they'll believe, you or me" during one-on-one meetings. That should tell you everything you need to know. Most people on the team are unhappy with this leadership and only a few lucky people were able to escape it by either leaving the company or switching teams. It's a real shame, because every other department is run by very experienced and non-toxic leaders. Another thing that is concerning is the burn rate and financial success of the company. Though the CEO is very transparent, it's difficult to understand how well the company is actually doing. Upper management spends a lot of time talking about potential. Potential sales, potential revenue, but it is pretty unclear if the company is financially succeeding or failing. If financial stability is important for you, consider that before taking the job.
